If you are on tiktok (like we are) you probably have come across this recipe for “cloud bread“. Super fluffy, fun to make and even more fun to cut into, this cloud bread can be made into any color or flavor. Consisting of 3 simple ingredients, here is how you make the tiktok cloud bread.
Earlier this month, “Cloud Bread” went viral on Tiktok.
Beautiful, fluffy and fun cloud breads were popping up everywhere. With only 2-3 ingredients (depending on if you added sugar or not), cloud bread was for sure one of the simplest ways to bake up this fun treat. Unfortunately so many of the recipes were out of America so the food ingredient measurements were different, so here at Salty Side Dish, we worked through a few to find out how to translate it for our US readers.
We tested two versions and I am publishing the larger more striking of the two. Once you understand the recipe, you can easily alter for bigger loafs, smaller individual servings and interchangeable colors and flavors. Lets get baking!

How to Make a Cloud Bread Loaf
THE PERFECT TIKTOK CLOUD BREAD
Preheat oven to 300 and place a piece of parchment paper flat on a sheet pan. Spray parchment paper with non stick cooking spray.
The key to making cloud bread is getting your egg whites into stiff peaks to bake.
First add 9 tablespoons of liquid egg whites into a bowl. Whisk (or mix on high in a mixer) until the egg whites start to bubble up in mini bubbles.
Add corn starch and white sugar. Combine.
Now mix until egg whites are stiff peaks.
You can do this by hand or a stand mixer, but I really recommend a stand mixer. Making egg whites into stiff peaks takes some time and a regular mixer is easier.
My stand mixer (on high) takes about 10-12 minutes of mixing until ready.
Optionally, add a drop or two of flavor like vanilla and a drop or two of coloring if you would like a colored cloud bread.
Once egg whites are fluffy and stiff (stand on own), add to a sheet pan covered in parchment paper into a round loaf shape.
Place cloud bread in oven on 300 for 25-26 minutes.
The top will be slightly browned (no matter what color you make it) and will be firm to the touch.
Peel slowly from the parchment paper.
As the bread sits, it will fall down and be less puffy, so if you want it puffy, let it cool a few minutes and then dive in.
What does Cloud Bread TASTE like?
I wasn’t 100% sure what it was going to taste like. There are a lot of versions online that people call cloud bread – some that include cream cheese, some that are in replacement for pizza dough or as tortillas. I think because I heard the word BREAD that I mistakenly thought it was going to taste like bread. While the consistency is kinda like a spongy angel food cake is awful fun to play with, it tastes like EGG.
Like lightly sweetened egg.
Some readers have suggested that it tastes good with seasonings and cocoa powder.
Keto Cloud Bread
This recipe as written is NOT considered keto as it has white refined sugar. But you can sweeten with other keto friendly sugars like monkfruit or leave it out entirely.
Just note that this really does taste like eggs, so its best to put in a flavor if you are going to remove the sugar.

However, its so easy to make that you should give this tiktok cloud bread recipe a real shot!

It didn’t work why
Trisha says
Explain to me what you did and ill see where you went wrong in the process and do my best to help make the cloud bread! We made it three times yesterday with no issues.
Taylor French says
I made this! Added a little cocoa powder and it was delicious!!!
Trisha says
awesome! So glad you tried the cloud bread and loved it – cocoa powder is a fun idea for this recipe, ill have to try that!
Layla says
mine wont form peaks
Trisha says
Hi Layla, Forming peaks isnt hard but most people quit too soon. It does take a long time to get your egg whites into stiff peaks. The best way to do it is to put in a stand mixer and turn on high for about 10 minutes, monitoring it. You can do it by hand but it will take a lot longer, probably 15 minutes (in my experience).
Alexa says
I tried too and for a long time it almost formed stiff peaks but turned soupy 🙁
Rachel Williams says
Most definitely took almost 20 min between three people. Me, my daughter and the hubby. It was fun though! It’s baking now so we’ll update! 🥰😁
Trisha says
I think people underestimate how long it can be to whip eggs, lol! I hope your cloud bread turned out awesome!
Alexa says
Im trying to make it and it almost formed stiff peaks (not quite) and then just turned soupy 🙁
Nancy says
So glad I’m not the only one. This is the 3rd time I’ve tried and it keeps turning into soup
Trisha says
It probably has to do with the egg whites not being whipped enough. If you are doing it by hand, it takes a LONG time. Your best bet is to put it in a mixer on high and let it go till its thick. Its a process that not everyone is used to, so its easy to quit too early, which will not give the eggs the density they need.
kayla jackson says
what if i over mix it is that possible
Trisha says
Yes, this is a great question. You can overbeat mix the eggs. They are done when they are light and fluffy, like a cloud. If you continue past that, the eggs rebreak down and collapse.
Lamb says
I had problems getting it to form peaks as well when using the break free liquid egg whites (from a carton). It turns out that they don’t work as well for whipping because they’re pasteurized, which means they’re partially heated and change in texture:
I had much better luck using egg whites from whole eggs! 🙂
Bob Anderson says
So you made an Angel Food Cake with Corn starch instead of flour.
Yay.
People who give a new name to something that already exists in order to get attention are sick and need help.
ACTUALLY invent something new in this world, or shut up.
Trisha says
hi Bob, First, I am not sure who peed in your cheerios to get angry over the name of a recipe.
Second, we didn’t invent or name this recipe. Had you read the article, you would see this was a viral recipe we tested. Third, this is absolutely NOTHING like angel food cake. Angel food cake is flour, sugar, vanilla, salt and egg whites. Just adding egg whites to something doesn’t make it similar. That’s like calling meringue an angel food cake. And lastly, if you didn’t want to see if this recipe worked, why did you actually google it and show up. So unless you want to bring value or kindness to the world, maybe its you who should, as you eloquently put “shut up.”
